Wild Bird Recipes for Your Bird Feeder

Articles from Best Garden Bird Feeders

Some recipes to place in your bird feeder.

Rendered Suet

Rendered suet is used in many bird feeding recipes. Meat is completely removed during the rendering process and it will not melt so easily or turn rancid so quickly after rendering.

Method

Place the suet in a saucepan over a low heat. Make sure not to overheat as it can ignite. Preferably an electric skillet should be used but if you are using a flame use a larger pan to spread the heat. Melt the suet then pass through a layer of fine cheesecloth into a suitable, heat proof tub. Discard any unmelted pieces of suet. Cool and allow to harden then repeat the process three times more.

Mix the warm rendered suet wit the peanut butter until the peanut butter is melted. Mix in the dried berries and sunflower seeds the add the oatmeal and muffin mix. Mix thoroughly and place in molds or mold into small cakes by hand. Allow to cool.

Wild Bird Fruit Treats
